I love Later With Jools Holland, that Radiohead performance was absolutely sublime.

#72. David Gilmour.


Everyone is a fanboy of something. I don't care who you are and what you listen to. I worship at the altar of Gilmour. I can even now appreciate his faults. His last solo album, whilst still enjoyable; was'nt exactly groundbreaking. He is 'frightfully middle class' and vocally he is good but not superb. However his guitar work still absolutely blows me away. It's not particularly technical or innovative but it just touches me deep inside. Yes it's a rotten old cliché but it's true.

His sound is everything that I want from a guitar and on everything he does he manages to sound anything less than engaging. It's an emotional thing for sure but is'nt that what music is?

'Live music' on telly used to be a normal thing, 'rahrah MTV' etc... god bless youtube, why are all the best TV performances from Germany? I hate these funky-wicked 1am Channel 4 shows they have now, it's not exactly Ready Steady Go is it? well that was lip-synched but it was still better... cuz I just don't want to see Black Kids live.
YouTube - The Creation on German TV show "Beat Beat Beat", 1966 Pt. 3

Dave Gilmour put more emotion into one note than Eddie Van Halen did during his entire career. He is probably the reason I started listening to music in the first place.

David Gilmour has stated many times that EVH is a more accomplished guitarist but that one note of his is worth ten of EVH. Good call. Gilmour is a blues based guitarist but what draws me to him a lot is the juxtaposition. He is a reserved quite spoken, well educated typical Englishman yet his sound is mournful and wistful. He definitely uses his guitar as an emotional crutch.

I get quite pissed off when people say that his style is not particularly progressive or that it is even boring. Every single musician does'nt have to push musical parameters. They can just be damn good at what they do and provide a sound that is emotionally cathartic.

JH i'm gonna take the dive into post-Piper Floyd in the next few days, using your reviews in the other forum as a starting point. If it goes well I will come to you for secondary album recommendations if that's okay? If I remember correct one of my first posts was a childish anti-Floyd rant...

Hey if people don't dig Floyd I can handle it no problem. What knobs me off is people who have'nt heard their music outside of 'The Wall' and forming an opinion basing it on that and not an entire discography.

If I was getting into Floyd now after the music I have heard in the last 20 years then I would probably class them as boring too TBH. They are just a part of my life and that won't change.
